SOME CHANGES MADE
AD.DITION8 OF MACHINERY TO
'electrical LABORATORY.
GOOD PUNS MADE rOR f ITURE
Demonstration Lecture Room to Ac
commodate Large Classes More
Special Apparatus to Be
Bought Very 8oon.
(By V. L. HolllBter.)
The electrical engineering labora
tory shows some marked changes
which have taken place during the
past few years In the addition of now
machinery, following tho lines of gen
eral commercial evoiution. Lowor fre
quency and multl-phaBo alternating
current apparatus is being substitute,!
for the old high irequoncy mono-phase
machinery Individual setB of bolted
motors and generators aro given tho
student for experimental work. A
more or lesB complete system of wir
ing haB been, iftroduced throughout
the laboratory for making tho var
ious temporary connections between
machines for experimental work. ThUB
the work is facilitated and greater
protection is given both to tho stu
dents and to apparatus. Lator types
of Blow speed direct current as well
-as alternating current machines aro
being installed. Much of the line
shafting has been removed.
To Remove Engine.
The laboratory 100 H. P. high Bpeed
steam engine 1b still the prime mover.
Plans havo beon drawn and steps aro
now definitely under way for tho re
moval of tho old engine togother with
the remainder of tho line shafting,
which have done such valiant service
in the past. The shops building is to
bo remodeled and fitted up for the
exclusive ubo of the electrical dopartr
ment. Among the changes that are
under way and are expected to bo
effected within the year aro tho In
stallation of two 25 H. P. induction
motors to drive the direct current lab
oratory generators; one 15 H. P: in
duction motor for driving either an
alternating generator or the direct
current T. H. arc machine; ono direct
current Inter pole Bpeed motor of 15
H. P. capacity for driving a revolving
Hold alternator. A complete and mod
em switchboard of seven panels will
servo tho laboratories. A flexible sys
tem of wiring will extend from tho
row switchboard to all parts of the
main laboratory, to tho lecture rooms,
photometric laboratory, and to the
high tension laboratory.
A largo demonstration lecture room
is planned. This room will bo so
equipped tha experimental ' demon
stratlons may be given beforo large
classes.
Some very necessary additions will
bo made to the instruments and spec
ial apparatus now in tho department,
For One Building.
All ofllceB, lecture rooms and labor
atorios of tho electrical engineering
department will be in the one build
ing, to the advantage of students and
teaching force.
In tho high tension laboratory, men
tioned above, there will bo facilities
for obtaining voltages from ono to
fifty thousand volts, for carrying out
special high tension experimental
work.
Tho work, as carried out in tho lab
oratory classes at present, approxi
mates very closely in character tho
testing done in the shopB of the large
manufacturers of electrical machinery.
Tho attempt is mado t6 mako tho
work, as practical as possible, and at
the same time to impress upon .the
student tho application of the theor
etical considerations introduced in tho
cass room
lent by athletic critics of tho univer
sity and with tho Bell boys ho mado
third" in a groat trio. Ho has not yet
shown what is to bo oxpectod of him
this year, but ho will doubtless round
into his usual form with the season
fairly started.
In addition to these engineers who
havo won "N's" for their athletic
work, there aro five men In that
school who havo this year won "re
serve" sweaters These men were
Bubstltuteb fpr the regular football
team, They arc:' StUrmer, Klrko
Collins, Elllo, Slaughter and Dowers.
These men will have an excellent
chance for tho team next year If they
remain In schools.
Famous Old War-horses.
In yearB past tho engineers
havo fully maintained the record
which they havo made UiIb year. Num.
erous of the famous men in Nebraska
athlotii: annnls havo beon menibi'rs of
tho Industrial group and among these
are numbered tho very best football
players that tho Cornhuskor Institu
tion has over put out. Ono of tho
best men who ever fought for tho
scarlet and cream was Maurice Ben
edict, Benedict did work of an ex
tremely sensational style In tho olJ
days of five-yard play without for
ward paBs, whon tho lino masBeB flour
ished to their greatest extent Ho
almost never failed to deliver tho
goods and to .him may bo attributed
a large part of the Cornhusker suc
cess at that time. Benedict took work
In the engineering college but he did
not graduate. He is now engaged
In mining engineering.
John Westover, captain and tackle,
was tho best man at that position
that Nebraska has over had. His bull
dog tenacity and hiB absolute fearless
ness led him to do things which havo
never beon equaled by a Cornhuskor
tackle. Two other captains from the
engineers wore John Wollor, half
back, and Cy Ma?on, tackle. Weller's
work in tho Ames-Nebraska game of
1007 will long be remembered, it being
Mosher (captain), and E A. Schmidt
are formor onginoers who mado good
at basket-ball.
. Tho bid for tho construction of tho
new building of tho stato historical
society has been lot to tho Louis Jon
sen contracting firm of Lincoln, tho
figures of tho successful bidder being
$10,120. Jonscn nlBO mado a bid somo
tlmo ago, and tho second figures boat
tho first by almost $1,000. Four other
bids wore submitted to tho board of
trustoes by the Shaul construction
company, by Olson and Lawronco, by
George E. Tobin and by tho Tronton
construction company. Tho contract
simply calls for tho excavation and
tho foundation walls of brick. Tho ro
malnder of tho work will bo lot at
a later date. Work on tho now build
ing will begin as soon aB tho weather
permits.
Charles M. Kearney, '07, Is locatod
at Morrill, Nob. Ho Bays ho is about
as far away from tho university as
he can get and Btlll bo in Nebraska.
Morrill Is live miles from tho Wyom
ing lino.
Chancellor Avory has recently re
ceived a letter from President Schur

University of Nebraska has boon ad

The department of military science
requests that all officers roport in S.

this number, varying in length of from
two thousand to six thousand words
each, with many illustrations.
Tho present Btaff is working hard
to get out a publication which will
leave no doubt In tho minds of its
renders as to tho true ability of our
engineering faculty. The men on this
year's staff are: M. E. Stricter, editor-in-chief;

on the pitching staff. Schleuter was
a orack fielder and in thto line his
work waB tho mark for thp rooter's
praise. Carrol an catcher played an
excellent gamo. Ho will without doubt
again make tho team this year.
Captain WalBh of tho.basket-ball
five Is the only engineer' on that' team.
His work has, been considered excel
his last exhibition on tho gridiron.
His toe-work was tho deciding factor
in that close contest, pthor engineers
who went on the field for Nebraska
and received more than tho usual
amount of commendation from the
bleachers wore Pillsbury, Gien Mason,
Fonlon and McDonald.
In baseball Art Fenlon is probably
the best of the players from the en
gineers in times past. Fenlon is a
star fielder and his work has attracted
attention In professional ball bIuco ho
left the university. Announcement
was made just a few days ago of his
sale by tho manager of tho Lincoln
Western league team to the Topeka
team, for next Beason. Other old base
ball stars are Nllsson, Hyde, Blake,
Hrubesky, and Freeland. Hyde was
one of the best catchers on the Corn
husker list Blake and Hrubesky
wore pitchers in their day and Free
land was an excellent fielder.
In track work in tho past tho en
gineers are represented by Havens,
Earl White, A. D. Smith, Wollor, and
Chaloupka. Havens was probably the
best cross-country runner In tho his
tory of tho university. HagenBick.
ANNUAL NEBRA8KA BLUE PRINT
Is the Publication Issued by the En

Tho Blue Print is the annual publi
cation of the Nebraska Engineering
society. It is a purely technical Jour
nal devoted to tho interests of the
engineering sciences, and to the pro
motion of engineering at Nebraska.
Tho articles which appear in this
publication are specially prepared for
tho Blue Print, and in them aro set
forth the results of original work done
by Nebraska men, sometimes mem
bers of the faculty, hut more often by
members t of tho alumni, who con
tribute them upon request
The Blue Print has a wide circula
tion; exchanges aro mado with all
leading technical 'schools of this coun
try; many copieB aro turned over to
the university library for distribution
among other libraries of this country
as well as of South America; a num-
,ber are sent to largo manufacturing
industries, while the remaining copies
are sold to subscribers at fifty cents
each in order to cover expenses.
